56th AGA

 

The 56th AFRAA Annual General Assembly & Summit

Air transport has a key role to play in the economic and integration of the African continent. It is one of the major driving forces behind the social-economic development of Africa which requires an efficient, reliable, fast and safe air transport system in order to achieve the physical integration and support the development of trade and tourism. At its core, aviation serves as a catalyst for economic growth, driving trade, tourism, and investment. The aviation industry supports millions of jobs worldwide and contributes significantly to GDP. In Africa, aviation industry supports an estimated 7.7 million jobs and $63 billion in African economic activity.

Over the past years, air transport has steadily brought African countries closer together and has contributed to the expansion and deepening of intra-African commerce and trade. Since the last quarter of 2023, passenger traffic carried by African airlines has reached the levels of 2019, while intra-African connectivity already surpassed the pre-COVID level. This progress is being backed by deliberate initiatives from the industry stakeholders, and AFRAA’s priorities are aligned to support the sector accordingly.

It is therefore critical that leaders and decision-makers from the air transport sector and travel ecosystem put their weight behind the aviation sector in order for us to create the much needed enabling environment for air transport business to thrive and contribute to the continent’s sustainable rapid development.
